Personal Notes:
There are different recommendations according to various doctors and sources, but If there's one rule for stomach bugs I always try to remember, it's this:

Don't even think having little ones drink anything until they haven't vomited for 2 hours. After that, we move on to ice chips or tiny sips of water. If they keep that down for 20 minutes, then they're likely ready to start drinking more water electrolyte replacement drinks like Pedialyte or homemade Pedialyte.

Why is homemade Pedialyte (or any Pedialyte) important? It restores electrolytes from sodium chloride (salt) and other minerals that are lost during vomiting or diarrhea. Electrolytes help our cells absorb and retain fluid, so drinking a beverage that helps replace those electrolytes will rehydrate the body faster than drinking water alone.
